Creative Commons 3D print of Thom Yorke’s head

Someone on Thingyverse extracted a mesh of Thom Yorke’s head from the Creative Commons version of Radiohead’s video clip “house of cards”. They then took the resulting point cloud and ‘skinned’ it with the Point Cloud Script for Blender. This script is a great tool to create a working mesh from a simple point cloud. They then made the mesh manifold and all that using Meshlab. The resulting file is free to download and use. This is a great use of Creative Commons and I’d like to thank the CC blog for the post about this.
